>> We are pleased to announce the 11th Kinema Club to take place in Vienna from
>> November 25 (Fr.) to 27 (Su.). The conference in Vienna is dedicated to the
>> topic “Japanese cinema spaces and film environments” and will focus on the
>> exhibition side of film in Japan. The conference will be hosted by the
>> Institute of East Asian Studies at the AAKH-Campus of Vienna University, a
>> stone’s throw away from Vienna’s city center.
>>  
>> In recent years a significant strand of research in cinema studies has been
>> devoted to understanding cinema experience in terms of the logic of
>> exhibition practices. Yet, many film historians take their subject still very
>> literally: they primarily write histories of films, but not histories of
>> cinemas. This is particularly true in the case of Japan. Significant works
>> have been published in the past decades that have helped expand the knowledge
>> about Japanese film history outside of Japan. We know a lot about certain
>> filmmakers and their films, about specific genres, the studios and the movies
>> of a specific period, yet very little is known about where and how these
>> films have been shown and who was watching them. We know little about the
>> cinemas in Japan. The aim of this conference is to take a closer look at the
>> movie theatres in Japan and to shed light on the Japanese exhibition market.
>>  
>> The conference will be organized by the Institute of East Asian Studies of
>> Vienna University and the Austrian Japan-Society for Science and Arts in
>> cooperation with Kinema Club. Kinema Club is an informal community of
>> scholars, artists, and fans interested in Japanese moving image media
>> established in the early 1990s. One of its most important activities are the
>> workshops and conferences that have been held since 1999. So far ten Kinema
>> Club conferences have been organized: Michigan (1999), Hawai’i (2003), NYU
>> (2004), McGill (2004), Tokyo (2005), NYU (2005), Yale (2006), Frankfurt
>> (2007), Harvard (2009) and Hawai’i (2010). KC-XI will be the second Kinema
>> Club conference held in Europe.
>>  
>> Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
>>  
>> * histories of specific movie theatres
>> * biographies of film exhibitors
>> * regulations of exhibition spaces
>> * labor issues of movie theatre employees
>> * Cine-Club activities
>> * alternative ways of film exhibition
>> * film screenings at schools
>> * mobile projection units
>> * live performances at cinemas
>> * sound-scape in cinemas
>> * cinemas and urban development
>> * movie theatre architecture
>> * cinema audiences and movie-going experiences
>> * open air screenings/yagai joei
>> * multiplexes, mini-theatres, meigaza, etc.
>> * film festival exhibitions
>> * jisshu joei 
>> * advertising of movie theatres,
>> * the cinemas of Japanese migrants
>>  
>> We also invite proposals for discussants (a role that may help some acquire
>> travel funds to attend).
>>  
>> Conference Site: The conference will take place at the Institute of East
>> Asian Studies at the AAKH-Campus of Vienna University.
>>  
>> Registration Fee: € 30 for Professors and € 15 for students and hijokin.

>> of cinemas in Vienna is planned, among them one of the world’s oldest cinemas
>> (BSL) built in 1905.

>> of hotels in the vicinity of the conference site or in convenient reach by
>> public transportation will be announced soon.

>> attendees from Japan we also welcome papers proposed and delivered in
